`/v2/skills`: Profession specific skills (tomes, shrouds, "bundles") missing

gw2princeps commented 2 years ago

Current Behavior

Most - if not all - profession specific "transformation" skills are not exposed in the API. I think it is related to them being classified as "bundle". Regardless of that - these skills are crucial just like normal skills for creating user friendly guide websites.

Example (Epilogue: Ashes of the Just - firebrand tome f1 skill 5): https://api.guildwars2.com/v2/skills?ids=42898

{
  "text": "all ids provided are invalid"
}

Expected Behavior

The query should return:

{
  "name": "Epilogue: Ashes of the Just",
  "professions": ["Guardian"],
  "description": "Recall the memory of fallen heroes, granting allies the searing blades of justice.",
  "icon": "https://render.guildwars2.com/file/EC05420EAE5445A7069409B54D4502ED36BDF10A/1770477.png",

    },

    }
  ]
}

Steps To Reproduce

No response

Happening since

Release of the game? At least for as long as I am working on this which is ~2019

Anything else?

We put together a bunch of json file containing at least the firebrand tome skills: https://github.com/discretize/discretize-gw2api/tree/main/api/skills

With the rise of other classes that also heavily depend on profession specific skills it would take off a major workload off our shoulders - creating these API definitions is time consuming and not fun.

If there is anything I can do to help fix this problem, please let me know!

I can confirm that not a single Firebrand tome skill is available in API.
